Description
The present application claims priority from U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 62/046,371, filed on Sep. 5, 2014, which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.
Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to an article of clothing, such as a jacket a sweatshirt, or other garment, that is convertible into a pillow.
Description of the Related Art
It is often convenient to be able to have a pillow available, such as when one is traveling, in order to rest one's head. Such example can be while one is traveling in a plane, train, or automobile and one wishes to rest or take a nap. However, it is often not convenient for person to lug a pillow around with them. There exists a need for a garment that a user can wear in the course of normal everyday activities such that the garment is convertible into a pillow for such use when desired.
This Summary is provided to introduce a selection of concepts in a simplified form that are further described below in the Detailed Description. This Summary is not intended to identify key features or essential features of the claimed subject matter, nor is it intended to be used to limit the scope of the claimed subject matter.
In one embodiment, the present invention is a garment having panels provided in an interior portion thereof such that the panels are invertible in the garment insertable into the panels, forming a pillow.
In another embodiment, the present invention is a method of converting the garment into a pillow.
Other aspects, features, and advantages of the present invention will become more fully apparent from the following detailed description, the appended claims, and the accompanying drawings in which like reference numerals identify similar or identical elements.

Referring to FIGS. 1-8 , a convertible garment 100 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention is shown. Garment 100 includes an article of clothing, such as, for example, a hooded sweatshirt, also known as a “hoodie” 102 that has an outer material 103 having an open front 104 with two front panels 106, 108 secured to each other by a zipper 110. The zipper 110 connects the two front panels 106, 108 at a waist portion 111 of garment 100, which, when garment 100 is worn by a user, extends generally around the user's waist.
Pillow covering 120 has a first pocket panel portion 122 and a second, adjacent pocket panel portion 124 that have with such that the sum of the width of first pocket panel portion 122 and second pocket panel portion 124 add up to the same or at least slightly larger than the length “L”, resulting in at least a vertical length of second pocket panel portion 124 overlaps first pocket panel portion 122. While first pocket panel portion 122 and second pocket panel portion 124 are shown in FIG. 2 as being horizontally adjacent to each other, those skilled in the art will recognize that first pocket panel portion 122 can be located vertically above second pocket panel portion 124.
First pocket panel portion 122 is fixedly attached to interior rear portion 112 of hoodie 102 along three sides, namely a first generally horizontal top side 128, a first generally horizontal bottom side 130, and a first generally vertical side 132, which connects first top side 128 and first bottom side 130. First vertical side 132 is located away from second pocket panel portion 124. An open vertical side 133, extending between first horizontal top side 128 and first horizontal bottom side 130, proximate to second pocket panel portion 124, is unattached, forming a first pocket portion 123 (shown in FIG. 3 ). Open vertical side 133 extends generally perpendicular to waist portion 111.
Similarly, second pocket panel portion 124 is fixedly attached to interior rear portion 112 of hoodie 102 along three sides, namely a second generally horizontal top side 134, a second generally horizontal bottom side 136, and a second generally vertical side 138, which connects second top side 134 and second bottom side 136. Second vertical side 138 is located away from first pocket panel portion 122. An open vertical side 139, extending between second horizontal top side 134 and second horizontal bottom side 136, proximate to first pocket panel portion 122, is unattached, forming a second pocket portion 127 (shown in FIG. 3 ).
Pillow covering 120 can be releasably attached to hoodie 102, such as, for example, by hook and loop fastener, or other suitable releasable adhesive method. Alternatively, pillow covering 120 can be fixedly attached to hoodie 102, such as, for example, by ironing or other suitable fixed adhesive method.
First pocket panel portion 122 is still in its original state, with a remaining portion of hoodie 102, remaining outside of first pocket portion 123. FIGS. 5 and 6 show first pocket panel portion 122 having been inverted, with hoodie 102 being progressively stuffed into first pocket portion 123. FIG. 7 shows garment 100 fully converted into pillow 150, with hoodie 102 stuffed into first pocket portion 123 and second pocket portion 127. Because the sum of the width of first pocket panel portion 122 and second pocket panel portion 124 add up to the same or at least slightly larger than the length “L”, hoodie 102 is fully contained within pillow 150, with a portion of second pocket panel portion 124 overlapping first pocket panel portion 122. FIG. 8 shows a reverse side of pillow 150, with a rear surface 140, forming the shape of pillow 150.
A pillow covering 220 is attached to an interior rear portion 212 of hoodie 202. A top edge 222, a bottom edge 224, and a side edge 226 that extends between top edge 222 and bottom edge 224 are fixedly attached to interior rear portion 212 of hoodie 202, forming a pouch 227. An open edge 228 that extends between top edge 222 and bottom edge 224, away from side edge 226 has a first zipper half 230 attached thereto. A corresponding second zipper half 232 is fixedly attached to interior rear portion 212 of hoodie 202. While zipper half 230 is shown with edge 228, those skilled in the art will recognize that zipper half 230 can be used with any of edges 222, 224, 226, and 228, as long as that edge is an open edge. Further, while interior rear portion 212 is used, those skilled in the art will recognize that an additional piece of fabric (not shown) can be attached over interior rear portion 212. Additionally, while zipper halves 230, 232 are shown, those skilled in the art will recognize that other closure means, such as, for example, hook and loop fasteners, snaps, magnets, and the like can be used instead.
When garment 200 is used as hoodie 202, first zipper half 230 can be Either zipped or unzipped to second zipper half 232, as desired by the user. Optionally, pouch 227 can be used to store items (not shown) therein, zipping up zipper halves 230, 232, to retain the items within pouch 227.
To convert garment 200 into a pillow 240, side edge 226 is pushed between pillow covering 220 and interior rear portion 212 of hoodie between first zipper half 230 and second zipper half 232, inverting pillow covering 220 and pulling garment 200 along with side edge 226. Garment 200 is folded such that, when pillow covering 220 is fully inverted, garment 200 is fully stuffed within an inverted form of pouch 227, forming the pillow 240 shown FIGS. 10 and 11 .
As shown in FIG. 10 , one side of pillow 240 is the material of interior rear portion 212 of hoodie 202, while, as shown in FIG. 11 , an opposing side of pillow 240 is a reverse side of pillow covering 220. If, however, an additional piece of fabric is attached over interior rear portion 212 as discussed above, the additional piece of fabric will become the one side of pillow 240. As can be seen in FIGS. 10 and 11 , both the material and the design of opposing sides of pillow 230 can differ.
Optionally, as shown in FIG. 11A , drawstrings 250, 252 can be attached to an interior of pouch 227 such that, when hoodie 202 is converted into pillow 240, drawstrings are located on either side of zipper halves 230, 232, allowing pillow 240 to be carried similarly to a backpack.
An alternative embodiment of a garment 300 according to the present invention is shown in FIGS. 12-16 . Referring to FIG. 12 , similar to garment 100, garment 300 includes an article of clothing, such as, for example, a hoodie 302 that has an open front 304 with two front panels 306, 308 that are separated from each other to show a pillow covering 320 attached to an interior rear portion 312 of hoodie 302. Pillow covering 320 may be constructed from a woven fabric material, such as, for example, cotton. Alternatively, pillow covering 320 may be constructed from other material, as will be recognized by those skilled in the art. Pillow covering 320 is generally rectangular in shape and has a length “L2” that extends across a rear portion of hoodie 302. While pillow covering 320 is shown as being generally rectangular in shape, those skilled in the art will recognize that pillow covering 320 can be other shapes as well, including, circular, triangular, octagonal, and other shapes.
Pillow covering 320 has a first pocket panel portion 322 and a second, adjacent pocket panel portion 324 that have with such that the sum of the width of first pocket panel portion 322 and second pocket panel portion 324 add up to the same or at least slightly larger than the length “L2”, resulting in at least a vertical length of first pocket panel portion 322 overlaps second pocket panel portion 324. While first pocket panel portion 322 and second pocket panel portion 324 are shown in FIG. 12 as being horizontally adjacent to each other, those skilled in the art will recognize that first pocket panel portion 322 can be located vertically above second pocket panel portion 324.
First pocket panel portion 322 is fixedly attached to interior rear portion 312 of hoodie 302 along three sides, namely a first generally horizontal top side 328, a first generally horizontal bottom side 330, and a first generally vertical side 332, which connects first top side 328 and first bottom side 330. Optionally, first pocket panel portion 322 may be constructed from interior rear portion 312 of hoodie 302. First vertical side 332 is fixedly connected to interior rear portion 312 and is located away from second pocket panel portion 324. An open vertical side 333, extending between first horizontal top side 328 and first horizontal bottom side 330, proximate to second pocket panel portion 324, is unattached, forming a first pocket portion 323 (shown in FIGS. 13 and 14 ).
Unlike second pocket panel portion 124 in garment 100, second pocket panel portion 324 is formed from interior rear portion 312 of hoodie 302. Second pocket panel portion 324 is contiguous with interior rear portion 312 of hoodie 302 along three sides, namely a second generally horizontal top side 334, a second generally horizontal bottom side 336, and a second generally vertical side 338, which connects second top side 334 and second bottom side 336. Second vertical side 338 is located away from first pocket panel portion 322. An open vertical side 339, extending between second horizontal top side 334 and second horizontal bottom side 336, proximate to first pocket panel portion 322, is formed by cutting through interior rear portion 312, forming a second pocket portion 327 (shown in FIGS. 13 and 14 ).
While one side of the cut of interior rear portion 312 forms second pocket portion 327, an opposing side of the cut through interior rear portion 312 is fixedly connected to first vertical side 332 of first pocket panel portion 322, as discussed above.
A pillow exterior side 340, shown in broken lines in FIG. 14 , is fixedly attached to a reverse side of interior rear portion 312. A portion 342 of pillow exterior side 340 extends beyond first pocket panel portion 322. When garment 300 is in the configuration of hoodie 302, as shown in FIG. 14 , pillow exterior side 340 is only visible when first pocket panel portion 322 and second pocket panel portion 324 are pulled apart from each other, as shown. The diagonal lines in FIG. 14 represent the visible portion of pillow exterior side 340.
To form a pillow from garment 300, first pocket panel portion 322 and second pocket panel portion 324 are inverted, with hoodie 302 stuffed into first pocket portion 323 and second pocket portion 327. As shown in FIG. 15 , a reverse side of first pocket panel portion 322 and second pocket panel portion 324 are visible, along with part of interior rear portion 312 that is aligned with portion 342 of pillow exterior side 340.
Still another alternative embodiment of a garment 400 according to the present invention is shown in FIGS. 17 and 18 . Referring to FIG. 17 , similar to garment 100, garment 400 includes an article of clothing, such as, for example, a hoodie 402 that has an open front 404 with two front panels 406, 408. Although not shown, front panels 406, 408 can include a zipper.
A vertical slit 414 is cut in inner lining 412, forming a first vertical edge 413 and a second vertical edge 415. An interior liner 416 is sewn to inner lining 412 between inner lining 412 and outer material 410 as shown by the rectangle 418 defined by the dashed lines in FIG. 17 . A pillow panel 420 is sewn to both interior liner 416 and inner lining 412 at a horizontal top seam 422 and a horizontal bottom seam 424 and to second vertical edge 415 of inner lining 412 along a vertical seam 426. A first vertical edge 428 of pillow panel 420 is unsewn. Inner lining 412 is sewn to interior liner 416 along vertical seams 430, 432.
To form garment 400 into a pillow, first vertical edge 413 is pulled to the left as shown in FIG. 17 and vertical edge 428 is pulled to the right, exposing at least a portion of interior liner 416. Garment 400 is pushed through the gap formed between first vertical edge 413 and first vertical edge 428 and pillow panel 420 and inner lining 412 are inverted until a reverse side 430 of pillow panel 420, a reverse side of inner lining 412 between first vertical edge 413 and interior liner 416, as well as interior liner 416 are exposed, forming a pillow.
In an exemplary embodiment, pillow panel 420, interior liner 416, and a reverse side of inner lining 412 have the same design such that, when garment 400 is inverted into the pillow, all exposed sides of the pillow have the same visible design.
It will be further understood that various changes in the details, materials, and arrangements of the parts which have been described and illustrated in order to explain the nature of this invention may be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the invention as expressed in the following claims.
